Set up beta testing site

[alexandernext]

For designers to see what's going on

@alexandernext I would like to deploy the Aquaforces using nginx and pushion passenger (for more efficient content serving and debugging meanwhile writing down the process to establish a server environment and all the commands-to-run/ setups

what do you think?

FYI: Making Node.js deployment enjoyable

Hmmm... I don't really know much about nginx but phusion passenger looks fine to me.

Relevant links (for Alex):

• https://github.com/phusion/passenger/wiki/Phusion-Passenger%3A-Node.js-tutorial#understanding_passenger
• https://www.phusionpassenger.com/

it's the best match with node.js I could find so far for website hosting

• some benefits (but not all): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16770673/using-node-js-only-vs-using-node-js-with-apache-nginx

Looks good. Let's do it!

[alexandernext]

@pppp22591558 @jshuaf That seems pretty nice! Are there any drawbacks we should consider?

[ssneilss]

@alexandernext Just need some time to set up but that's just an one time cost :/ I will try it first and maybe you should open a server for designers if in hurry

[ssneilss]

Will finish it before the weekend ends!

[alexandernext]

@pppp22591558 no worries we're not really in a hurry
